I can't figure out which connections on the Denso alternator is used for the Ground, Sensing and Indicator...I assume the largest one is the output plug. Does anyone have a wiring diagram that shows what each connection is used for?
The alternator in question...
I'm shopping for replacement units online, need some advice. Which unit do you think I should go with?
140 Amp :omg:

All may rejoice as I have now returned! I'm finally finishing the 240 project, after getting so close to completion, and then loosing interest.
This weekend I was going through the process of changing fluids. I decided to plug-in the laptop to review the MegaSquirt fuel map I had last used. As...
I need a short straight intake pipe for my 15g turbo with an additional nipple for my catch can and silicon connectors. Where is the best place for me to find one of those?
Thanks
The way my MS power is currently setup is I have a 12v wiring running off of fuse #5 (directional indicator, tail lamp, control unit preheater, diesel) to a fuse box on my passenger side which gives power to my injectors, coil and MS unit. The reason I have the power running from this fuse is...
During the course of my project I had to rip out the dash and peddle box. Since then I have not been able to figure out how to hook up the brake lights. I have the brake peddle sensor installed but I'm unsure of where I should wire it. So if someone has a few tips or schematics of how it...
I just installed my rebuilt head and my car is running extremely rich so right I'm amazed it even starts. I'm running MS2 3.57 on a B230ft with 90+ green top injectors using the Ford EDIS ignition system.
I have a cylinder head that I dropped of this weekend at a machine shop to be hot tanked and resurfaced. I removed the valves from the head and I will be installing the valves again with new springs, seats, retainers, seals, buckets etc. I will be installing a new IPD Turbo Cam. I wanted to...
I pulled the cam clamps? (is that the right word?) to inspect to bearings and I'm not sure I liked what I saw. In addition the cam has a crack at the back.

I purchased a B230FT engine from a turbobricker about a year ago to replace my high mileage B230 block. He swore the engine was good and that it only had 125k on the block. But after looking it over I think it has close to 190k if not more. I paid $700 for it shipped to my place from VA hoping I...
What Volvo's come with slim brake boosters that will fit for a 240? I read here on the forums that the 240 diesel boosters will bolt right up but I have never even seen a diesel 240 so no luck in finding a thin booster. What other models are car boosters will work?
Discount Tire is offering $100 off any set tomorrow and since I will hopefully be getting the Volvo back on the streets soon I figured this was a good time to buy some tires and save a hundred bucks. After reading a few post it sounds like 205/55-15 is the size to go for. They offer a good...
I discovered that the turbo head that came with my junkyard motor has a stripped spark plug socket. Instead of repairing it I'm going to toss it and rebuild my original n/a 530 head.
My plan so far is to disassemble my original n/a 530 head and have it hot tanked. Then replace the valve...
I don't know how this happened, I have been exceptionally careful when installing the plugs. I hand twisted the spark plugs back in today after doing a compression test then went to tighten them and I noticed that one kept turning. I'm having a hard time viewing the threads since it's on the...
91 Volvo 240 non ABS I have cleaned the whole system using new fluid and flushed it twice making sure there is no air in the system. When the car is turned off I can build some pressure in the system by pumping the brakes but it does not seem to last long. When the car is running I can push the...
Replaced my head gasket, thermostat, new oil and coolant. I'm having problems with the cooling system not working. My heater core is warm yet my radiator only gets hot at the top when the car reaches operating temperatures. The cooling system is full and the E-fan is being run constant. MS is...
My car no longer has the stock Volvo harness so I have to wiring up my own sensors now. I'm having a hard time tracking down how to directly wire my engine coolant sensor to the stock Volvo cluster thermostat gauge. Any guidance would be highly appreciated. Thanks
I was replacing my injectors the other day and accidentally dripped some gas from the fuel rail into the flame trap. I knew I should have drained the oil right then but I decided to ignore logic and forget that I had see anything. I was willing myself to believe that since the flame trap blows...
